“Wins and Losses put in Perspective,” that’s what Nick Scott says about the NFL. While the Panthers safety is still making his name in the NFL, he secured a spot in someone’s heart a long time ago. And mind you, it’s safe to say that while he tackles the players on the field, he surely doesn’t need to tackle his love life off the gridiron!

It’s like the stars aligned, or maybe it was just the Friday night lights, but either way, we’ve got football to thank for bringing this adorable couple together! But who is Nick Scott’s wife Holly Scott and what’s her connection with the NFL?

Who is Holly Scott?

While Nick Scott was a College Football player at Penn State University, Holly Johnson was a cheerleader. The couple met during their graduation at the University, and since then she has been cheering on the safety from the sidelines. College romance really had its own charm back then, didn’t it? Well, what makes the couple’s lovey-dovey relationship more special is their time on the gridiron and even outside the classes! And, wait because the tale gets more exciting!

The NFL star went public with his relationship back in 2016, posting a sweet photo with his love. From coffee dates to stadiums, they started spending more time together, and guess what? Four years went by and in November 2020, Scott went on his knee. While pulling out the ring, he popped the question and Holly said yes!

Barstool Penn State shared the engagement photo on their X post and wrote, “Congrats to former Nittany Lion Nick Scott on his engagement to former PSU cheerleader Holly Johnson.” And the former cheerleader couldn’t stop flaunting her beautiful diamond engagement ring. Well, that was just the start of a new chapter of their life!

In March 2021, the Super Bowl Champion posted a picture with his then-girlfriend and wrote, “Almost Forever.” In the IG post, Johnson was holding Scott’s hands just like she never wanted to let the moment go. Well, a few months later, they tied the knot, and Nick and Holly turned into Mr. and Mrs. Scott. While they married in 2021, we can still hear the wedding bells! Well, it’s not our fault. How can we forget the lovely afternoon when Scott gave Johnson the best surprise of her life?

To celebrate the most memorable day of his life, the safety got his and the former cheerleader’s photo printed on it. Now, that’s called setting goals! And the proud husband has been taking his wife everywhere from red carpets and trips to Super Bowl wins. And that’s not all!

Nick Scott’s happy family

Nick’s tackle count has skyrocketed this season, going from 57 last year. But, it wasn’t a piece of cake for the Panthers player. The 29-year-old NFLer started his football journey as a running back at Penn State. However, just the following year, he changed his path to become a cornerback. But he wanted to do something different! After carrying the ball and thinking for a while, he played as a safety for the final two seasons of College Football. That’s how Scott’s journey as a safety started.

And while the player was climbing the ladder of success, he made his NFL debut. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams. After Ram, he played with Cincinnati Bengals, before signing with the Carolina Panthers.

However, Nick Scott’s rise in the NFL wouldn’t have been possible without his lovely fam behind. The Scott couple are now a family of three, with their son Jackson a little ray of sunshine in their lives. Well, Holly and Jackson are all about football—whether they are cheering from the sidelines or catching the action on TV, they love every moment of the game! When not in gridiron, Nick just loves spending time with his little kiddo. And when not with his kid, what does Holly do? Interestingly, Holly has become a dietician, who loves to keep track of her family’s nutrition.

Holly and Nick Scott are truly the college lovebirds we can’t take our eyes off. From lovers to soulmates, they have been through it all! And now, with their little one cheering “dada” from the sidelines, it’s safe to say the Panthers player’s journey has just started!
